Special Session with J C Sum & ‘Magic Babe’ Ning (TICKETED EVENT)
This special 2-hour session will include the following activities:
- Master Lecture by J C Sum “Urban Classic Magicâ€
- Deadly Sexy Magic Showcase by ‘Magic Babe’ Ning
- Participants will also have the first priority to buy discounted magic items
Master Lecture by J C Sum (60min)
J C Sum has delivered 4 exclusive Master Lectures in his career; DBS Arts Centre after his “Art of Illusion†theatre show in 2005, Bangladesh Magic Festival in 2005, the Concept:Magic Micro Magic Convention in 2007 and during the upcoming Southern England Magic Convention in January 2009.
During Magic Boutique’s Magic Day @ The Arena, J C will present a 60min Master Lecture on “Urban Classic Magicâ€. He will share with participants 4 classic magic acts/ routines and how he has transformed them to relevant presentation pieces for today’s urban audiences.
J C will be sharing a collection of close-up, parlour and stage routines.
Rope Magic
J C will present his new urban version of a Ring & Rope routine that does not use a traditional ring or rope and is perfect for contemporary audiences. Through this original routine, J C will be sharing my rope handling based off work by David Williamson, George Sands and Daryl.
Many of the moves also form the basis of J C’s Knife & Rope routine that Ning performs a modern version of in her “Deadly Sexy Magic†One Gal Show (which will also be showcased at the ticketed portion of Magic Day).
Psychological Aces
A simple but very effective audience participative Ace assembly. This is NOT the popular-type of “Dream of Acesâ€/ “Grandpa Aces†routine but is a straight forward routine that shows the devastating impact of sleight of hand coupled with psychological misdirection.
Miser’s Dream
A hit of “Ultimate Magic†and one of my most popular lecture items. J C brings a couple of new techniques into the classic Miser’s Dream, most notably how the routine starts.
J C will also share my collection of coin pails and show which one is hands-down the best one on the market to use.
Cups & Balls
J C’s two-cup/ two-ball routine was featured in the Concept:Magic Micro Convention in Jan 2007, more than 2 years ago. This was the routined used extensively every week when J C was doing close-up exclusively from 1995 – 1998, performing a corporate events as well as being the resident magician or Shangri-la Hotel, Four Seasons, Hilton, Lion City Hotel and Tony Romas restaurant.
Building a Show
J C will also be lecturing on performance skills and techniques as well as elements of stage craft which are outlined in his lecture notes. One of the main chapters in the lecture notes is building a show, as opposed to a short manipulation act. The lecture notes will benefit anyone looking to put together a professional level show, regardless of whether you are doing magic for fun, semi professionally or for charity.
J C’s lecture notes will be available at ONLY $20 on the day itself.
Q & A
J C & Ning will also be conducting a Q & A to answer any questions you have with regards to magic and performing professionally. This is your chance to hear answers from the source if you have any questions that you have been dying to ask.
“Deadly Sexy Magic†Showcase by ‘Magic Babe’ Ning (20min)
This is the act that ‘Magic Babe’ Ning will perform as the headlining performer for the Southern England Magic Convention in the U.K. Watch Ning’s distinctive stage acts that propelled her to stardom.
